Question

Write a paragraph proof of this theorem: In a plane, if two lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel to each other.

Answer 1

Since r and t are each perpendicular to s, angles 1 and 5 are right angles and therefore are congruent corresponding angles. Since two lines cut by a transversal are parallel if the corresponding angles are congruent, lines r and t are parallel.

Answer 2

Yes this the right answer Cam great job ^v^

Answer 3

yea great job cam

Answer 4

Since r and t are each perpendicular to s, angles 1 and 5 are right angles and therefore are congruent corresponding angles. Since two lines cut by a transversal are parallel if the corresponding angles are congruent, lines r and t are parallel.
